Welcome to Elf Leatherworks and Ewetopia Farm

Elf Leatherworks combines original design and rugged utility into exceptional handmade leather goods.  The  leather studio is based on a long-established organic farm on Salt Spring Island, the largest of British Columbia’s gulf islands.

The Farm

We grow our own fruit, nuts, herbs and veggies.  We also raise Bluefaced Leicester & Gotland sheep for the gorgeous, silky fibre they provide.  The curly locks are washed by hand with  gentle soap and therefore free of harsh chemicals.  Carding, spinning and weaving are happy pastimes.  Our customers love the  blankets, sweaters, slippers we offer as well as the home processed wool rovings and yarn.  Honey, candles and treatment-free products from the hive are also provided by our apiary.  Life here falls gracefully into step with the seasonal changes of the farm.

The Leather Shop

In these idyllic surroundings, practical leather gear is handmade from concept to finish… each piece is individual and unique.  Our projects begin with quality hides that we personally select – there are no shortcuts or compromises.  The work takes place with the thoughtful care that comes from experience.   A custom made item by Elf  is the real deal.

Best known for exceptional high quality, attention to finishing detail and innovative custom work, handmade leather goods are available from us, Andy & Lorrie, at the Salt Spring Saturday Market from March through October and this website.   Handmade belts, aprons, tools cases, bags and accessories are just some of the one-of-a-kind leather goods you will find at Elf.

Visit us at the market or email anytime by using the form on the contact page or elfleather@shaw.ca
